Humble beginnings

 

After a lot of stability issues I picked up KSP again with the new Tantares. I follow Historical Progression in a career save. This is my (very incorrect) interpretation of Salyut 1 and Soyuz 11:

End result, for now, we moved the tug to one of the front nodes to make way for another Soyuz craft.

 

Wow! Nice mission :) 
The improvised Kvant tug is very easy to love.

Hopefully I will have TKS modules for you soon.

Solar Madness

Work continues... The folding animation, I think is one of my favourite things in KSP done so far.

The fairings fit very comfortably around the panels, no more odd-Protons!

Many thanks @InsaneDruid!

Thanks @Beale :blush:

 

Those solar panels looks really promising. Question, which solar panels should I use on the Soyuz capsules. It used to be Tantares.Solar.C (IIRC) but those are no longer with us.

 

Oh, I’m also working on TAC LS support, will make a pull request once it’s a bit more balanced.

Depends if you are making the older 7K-OK ferries, in the case, use body hugging solar panels with pointy bits (T-RYD 1x6R Photovoltaic Panels)
Tantares_SolarBasic_1 and 2

If you are making a more modern Soyuz, use the flat solar panels (Apparently also called T-RYD 1x6 Photovoltaic Panels... I should fix that).

There are many more differences between old and new, of course, but right now all I have is the different panels.

Hope this helps :)

That explains why I couldn’t find the 1x4 panels :sealed:. Thank you :rep:.

That’s the smoothest and coolest animation I’ve seen in KSP, niftily done sir.

 

Are they retractable? Because I need to play that over and over again.

MIR solar panels unfolding and then folding again, indefinitely! (6 MB)

 

Excellent gif! :) I am glad they are being enjoyed.

 

Sofora Truss Trial Run

Before beginning work on the various Kvant truss parts, a little trial run...

9m61Y84.png Test fire successful! At this distance from the COM, the roll consumes much less fuel for the same effect.

@Beale This mod looks wonderful. Is there an imgur album showing all/most of the parts? I haven't been able to find a semi-recent one. 

 

I’m not aware of a full list of parts on show anywhere, but I used quite a bit of them in this post.

 

@CaptKordite has a Flickr album with even more parts on show.

 

Hope this helps.

Ow. Ow. Eridani_Crew 1 and 2 gone. Right in the middle of them being in orbit as a starting space station. With kerbals inside. OW.

Please, can there be a word of warning for such things in the future?

I always give plenty of warning...

Those parts are still there, you have installed things wrong, plain and simple.

Oh. So it should be updated by overwriting the mod folder, not deleting the old version and putting the new one in? Good to know :)

Basically on the first page is all I have, if you can submit them it would be very welcome.

Lightning fast 2Mhz processor, and an amazing 8k of work-RAM. :D 

 

For the parts? Not yet, cloned stock probe config :) 

Why on earth would you need that much CPU power
